    @Fredrick863407 @ScottJAw @PlayOverwatch The problem is they already don’t like overwatch and they look for every minuscule reason to complain simply because they have nothing better to do.

  • mistersev Franco 🎃 (@mistersev) reported

    Overwatch 2 will be releasing in 30 minutes. I imagine there will be launch day problems, so I'm not going to set my expectations too high #gaming #Overwatch #Blizzard

  • AR15_Carnage GnashtyTV (@AR15_Carnage) reported

    I want to play Overwatch 2 but every time I log in there's 4000 players in front of me and when its my turn to go in the server there's a "Server error" and I have to rinse and repeat the process. This is madness.

  • NishioVT Nishio Tadashige 🔞 | Oni-Born Tiefling ENVtuber (@NishioVT) reported

    Well, ****. Overwatch 2 launches at the same time I start up the stream. I'm eh or neh about the game honestly, maybe I'll login and see what's different or something if I can and make a judgement call.

  • WrestleCoder WrestleCoder (@WrestleCoder) reported

    Staying out of all the drama today and focusing on the positives that it’s Overwatch 2 launch day. I’m really starting to get tired of every day is a negative against AEW day anymore. Yeah it has its issues like every other promotion but at least they are trying.

  • Haydn6611 Haydn (@Haydn6611) reported

    @virginmedia I’m going to kill myself if you don’t get your servers online, I’m trying to install overwatch 2 and ur ***** workers can’t fix **** properly do ur job or I kill myself, cheers🇺🇦🇺🇦🐐🫐

  • KatSleepless Sleepless Kat (@KatSleepless) reported

    @MarzGurl I used to play WoW damn near religiously back in the day, even Overwatch. If only I knew then what I know now. Do you think Microsoft can straighten out the work culture, even amidst their own issues?

  • tokyocxm キャメロン 🎃 (@tokyocxm) reported

    Overwatch 2 is going to crash before I even get to enjoy it.

  • Ms0tter Ms0tter (@Ms0tter) reported

    i cant wait for blizzard to not be prepared for the influx of people wanting to play Overwatch 2 and the servers to crash and people not to get in
